Soon supper was announced, andI felt better. If, however, my partner, who was Fred, had not been inthe secret, lie would have been as-

tonished to see how very much I ate,and how very many glasses I drankon the sly when I thought nobodywas noticing. Fred watched oneside of the table and I the other.When he thought no one was look-

From the S. F. Bulletin. qCongress 'has passed over tntf

President's veto the act excludingfrom the Electoral College States notrepresented. Under this there willbe no more than three States ex-

cluded Virginia, Texas and Missis1-sipp- i.

The two first of these haveyet to vote on the Constitutionadopted in Convention, and the thirdhas rejected the Constitution sub-

mitted to her people. Eight of theeleven 6eceding States, includingTennessee, are now restored to thaUnion, and will participate in thnext Presidential election. Howthese will vote at the election is aquestion of great importance. Onemight consider it determined by thedeclarationof the National Demo-cratic Convention that the Acts un-

der which they will vole are uncon-stitutional and void, for cftftainly iftheir suffrages were expected for Sey-mour and Blair, sach a declarationwould hardly have been trade. Butthere is stronger evidence tha this.Tennessee, the first State restored,gave a Union majority last year of51,930 in a total vote of 92,032.This majority may be reduced inNovember next, but Tennessee may-be counted as morally certain forGrant. On the vote for calling con-

stitutional conventions under the re-

construction acts, at the elections cf18G7, heavy majorities in the affirma-tive were given by Alabama, Ark-ansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,North Carolina aud South Carolina,the States just admitted to represen-tation- .

During the present year allof these States have given reducclmajorities for ratification of the Con-stitutions, and elected Union Statoofficers and Union Legislative ma-

jorities. It is expected that nearlythe same vote will be given for theUnion Presidential ticket, for it isnot to be presumed that the coloredvoters, who hold the balance of powerat this time, will go in large numbersfor the parly which announces Ks0pnrposa to disfranchise them. Igno-rant as the freed men are, they knowtoo much to vote away; a privilegewhich secures the practical protectionof their freedom and civil equality.Had the New York Convention ac-

quiesced ia the result of the reconstruction acts, and retrained irom anvthreat to repeal negro suffrage (ih.

case of Democratic success, tL3Southern politicians might reasonably Oexpect to secure a largo proportion cfthe negroes for Seymour.

The States enumerated are entitledto 57 votes in the Electoral College.Grouping them with the other Statesthat are claimad as morally certainfor Grant, we obtain the follow ins:result :

mission to bring any of my friends.Sir George lives twelve miles off.Dundee has secured the large omnibus from the inn, and ordered fourhorses, and we are to start at nineo'clock. We can all go together;we shall have a jolly evening, and I

am delighted to think that you willbe able to enjoy yourself, Miss Fen-wick.- "

;

Good gracious ! how my heartsank within me. My bet he'd goodtill th time we all separated. MyfrienJK Jiust lose their bets. I couldnever get through a ball, I knew. I

said my dress was high and wouldnot do for a ball.

" My maid," said Mrs. Dundee," shall dress you in one of my eve-

ning dresses.''"No, that she shan't," I almost

shrieked out. " If I must go, I willgo just as I am. I am so delicatethat the doctors will not allow me towear a low dress."

" Perhsps, dear, yoa would likeher to dress your hair differently ;

she is very clever ; or to put anotherwreath on your head ?"

"O, no; thank you," said 1; andmost bitterly did I inwardly abusemy luck, but I almost gasped : "Ifyou have a spare room where lcouidwash my hands, and just put my hairstraight for myself, I should be verymuch obliged."

I was shown into a room, and satdown, the very picture, I am sure, ofdespair. It now began to flash acrossme, too, that what was, to say theleast, a not over-creditab- le jokeamong a few larky brother officers,would be very dishonorable if prac-ticed on society at large ; that itwould be very wrong of me to go toa ball at Sir George's disguised as ayoung lady ; that I might get intosome awkward scrape ; that I mightbe the means of unintentionally causing pain and shame to some ladies.Oh, dear ! I wa3 doubting whether I

should be taken suddenly ill, andhave myself conveyed home, orwhether I should send for Mrs. Dun-

dee, and make a clean breast of it ;

little thinking that all the time thewretch knew my fix. But then myfriends would lose fifteen thousandpounds. O, horrible ! Just at thatmoment my hand unluckily touchedthe pocket in which was my flask ;

to pull it out and drain it was onlythe work of a moment or two. Mycourage returned at once; my spiritsrose only too rapidly ; I would gothrough with it, I would win. Myscruples vanished into thin air Iforgot them. I was not drunk, batterribly cscited.

Soon the lady's-mai- entered withhot water, brushes, etc. I rememberI felt very much iuclined to chuckher under the chin, and ask her toget me some more brandy on thesly. The mere thought, however,steadied me at once, as it struck me

how nearly I had made a mess of thewhole matter. I sat down before theglass, touched up my hair, somewhatcomposed my flushed face, shook outmy skirts, rinsed my mouth with eau

de cologne, to remove the smell ofbrandy, and put scent on a new lace

pocket handkerchief I had borrowedfrom Mrs. Dundee. I had often act-

ed a lady's part in private theatricals,and was tolerably au fait in mywork. When I descended to thedrawing room, Mrs. Dundee lookedme over. Oh, how I shuddered when

she touched one of my curls and

wished to put it quite straight.Knowing as she did my assumedcharacter, she must have been verymuch amused at the way in which 1

said : "O, please don't. I hate all

finishing touches of every kind."In due course of time the four.,

horse 'bus came round and we drove

to Sir John Clonmell's. My spiritshad again sunk to zero ; I feared Ishould not be able to keep up mycharacter, and instinctively felt thatI was doing wrong. O, those horri-

ble bets! There were several of the110th in the room. I danced withtwo. One was in my secret, theother was not. Any one who hadoverheard us would have been amazed

at the conversation between myjpart-ne- r

who was in the secret and myself." Fred, my boy, when will supper

come ? Do take me to some roomwhere I can get some bitter beer, orsomething to drink."

" Can't do it, old fellow, at any

price ; yoa would be found out, and

I should lose my money ; yon mnstpet on aa best vou can withoutdrink."

" Bnt I am dying with thirst ; I

can't hold out till snpper time, and

my pluck i3 oozing out at my finger

You will remember I was alwaysconsidered a very pretty boy; and in

early days, when we were all chil-

dren, you used to say that I ought tohave been a girl. When I was abouttwenty-on- e years old, I was stayingone long vacation with some friendsof mine iR the 110th regiment, thenquartered in Ireland. In the regi-

ment there was a certain CaptainDundee, who was rather a heavy,stupid fellow, though a pretty goodofficer, and who prided himself uponbeing very sharp. He used to boastthat nobody could take him in, andthat he would recognize a person in

any conceivable disguise. I wasvery intimate with Captain Dundee,and so far from thinking him verysharp, I used to abuse him for his

stupidity, and was always chaffinghim on the subject.

One evening at mess, when CaptainDundee was not present, bets weremade that 1 could not pass an eveniugin his company dressed as a lady,without his discovering the trick. Ibetted that I could do so. Manyofficers took my side, and at last itended in very heavy bets indeed be- -

ing made, not by me, but what wasworse, by my friends, for I felt thattheir losing or gaining almost a for-

tune dependel entirely on me. Asthe day drew near, these bets weredoubled. I quite trembled for theresult. I may mention that, though

did not know it, almost all thesebets were ficticious, and only pro-

claimed for the sake of keeping meup to the mark. In fact, those con-

cerned thoughtlessly wanted to havejolly laik, and were afraid of my

backing out. As it wa, I felt thatabout .15,000 in bets depended onmy getting through the evening safelyin my assumed character of a youuglady.

Captain Dundee had married a

young, larky, care for nothing Irishgirl. I do not at all mean to saythat she was really bad ; but fromthoughtlessness, from a not over-refin- ed

nature, and from very exuber.ant, uncontrolled spirits, she wouldrush into a scrape, little thinking orcaring about the consequences, orhow she should get out of it success-full- y.

The bet was, that the firstevening Mr. Fen wick could get aninvitation for himself and an imagin-ary niece, Miss Fenwick, to dinewith the Dundees, I wr.s to personate,or attempt to personate, the niece;and the said bet, moreover, was tothe effect that I should successfully

deceive Captain Dundee til! such timeas the party separated, however latethe hour might be.

Without my knowledge, Mrs. Dun-

dee was let into the secret ; hence allmy trouble. She, in her wild Irish

w3y, quite entered into the joke, and

at once determined to make confusionworse confounded.

Ver3 soon a note came, statingthat Captain and Mrs. Dundee re-

quested the pleasure of Mr. and MissFenwick to dinner in a quiet way onthe 10th inst. Only one or twobrother officers were coming. Thefatal day arrived. Remember, I

thought that thousands dependedon the result, and that Mrs. Dundeewas as ignorant as her husband of

ray intended appearance. Imagineme with a profusion of false curls ; a

flower or two stuck here and there ;

no end of lady 's jewelry rings, ear-

rings, brooch, etc.; a thin muslin

dress, with high body ; my face skillfully painted. In fact, I was, alto-

gether, well made vp by a first ratehand sent for from Dublin. Partlyto keep up my courage and get me

up to the mark, and partly because 1

knew that in my assumed character

I must not drink much wine, I im-

bibed a considerable quantity before

I started. Moreover, in a secret

pocket, I concealed a small flask ofbrandy, with which I hoped to ue

able to keep up my spirits ,; on the

slv."At table I played my part well. I

talked and flirted, chatted about

dancing, and fo forth, and protested

I was mad about balls. Poor wretch

that 1 was, I wish I had held my

tongue ; I was unwittingly rushing to

destrnction. I drank as much cham-

pagne as I dared in my new charac-te- r

and thought everything was go- -.

ii rirrhr. and that my friendsuJq "a"-- !

were quite sure to win their money.

Scarcely had the cloth been removed,

when Mrs. Dundee said :

" I have a pleasing surprise for yoa

all, good people. A few days ago I

invitation from Sirreceived anGeorge and Lady Clcnmell to a ball

Since winds of anguish we cannot control,And shock after shock we're called to bear.Till the lips are white with the heart's

despair.

The shores of time with wrecks are strewn,Unto the ear conies ever a moanWrecks of hopes that set sail in glee,Wrecks of love, sinkiDg silently.

Many are hid from the human eye,Only God knoweth how deep they lie;Only God heard when arose the cry,

Help me to bear oh! help me to die."

"Into each life some rain must fall;''If this were all oh? if this were all;Yet there's a refuge from storm and blast,Gloria Putria we'll reach it at last.

Be strong, be strong, to my heart I cry,The pearl in the wounded shell doth lie;Days of sunshine are given to all,Though " into each life some rain must

full!"'

Woman, it is asserted, does notalways succeed in acquiring a perfectknowledge of the handicraft she com-

mences to learn, because she is con-

scious that at some future time shemay be diverted from her trade totake charge of a household of hefown. The different aims of the maleand female artisan are graphicallydescribed in Harper's Bazaar, by awood engraver, who had endeavoredto instruct females in the higher Ibranc'.n s of his art. The engraversays : " When i young man comesto rue and begins his work, lie feels

that it is his life business. He is tocut his future out of the little blocks abefore him. Wife, family, home,

happiness, are all to be carved by hishand, and he settles steadily and

earnestly to his labor, determined tomaster it, and with every incitementspurring him on. He cannot marryuntil he knows his trade. It is ex-nc- ily

the other way with the girl.She may be as poor as the youth, andas wholly dependent upon her laborfor a living. But she feels that she

will probably be married by-and-- by,

and then she must give up wood en

graving. She goes on listlessly ; she

has no ambition to excel ; she does

not feel that her happiness depends

upon it. She will marry, end thenher husband's wages will support her.She will not say so, but she thinksso, and it spoils her work."

A Woxdsrfl--l Dome. The dome

of the Capitol at Washington is themost ambitions structure in America.

It is a hundred and eight feet higherthan the Washington Monument atBaltimore, sixty-eig- ht feet higherthan that at Bunker Hill, and twenty

three feet higher than the Trinityspjre cf ew York. It is a

vn-st-- . hnllow pnhere of iron, weinhin-- r

R 200.000 rounds. How much is: i - - r

that More than four thousand

tons, or about the weight of seventythousand full grown people ; or aboutequal to a thousand laden coal cars,which, holding four tons apiece,

would reach two miles and a half.

Directly over your head is a figurein bronze, "America," weighing

14,985 pounds. The pressure of the

iron dome upon its piers and pillarsis 13,477 pounds to the square foot,

St. Peter's presses nearly 20,000

pounds more to the square foot, and

St. Genevieve, at Paris, 60,000

pounds more. It would require to

crush the supports of our dome a

pressure of 7T5,2S0 pounds to the

square foot. The cost was about

$1,100,000. The new wings cost

about $6,500,000. The architect has

a plan for rebuilding the old central

nart of the Capitol and enlarging the

Park, which wiU cost $3,200,000.

pagne in the twinkling of an eye.At length the company began to

disperse, and rather quickly, too,for the rain was pouring, aud an aw-

ful thunder storm was evidently com-

ing on. I heard more than one anx-

ious parent hasten their charge awaywith : " Come, come, my dear ; youmust come now, or as papa says,we shall be obliged to stay here allnight."

The words did not strike me muchat the moment, but did they not afterwards ? Soon the storm broke :

it was something frightful ; and afterthe severity of the thunder and light-

ning had spent itself, the rain camedown in torrents, and gave everysign of continuing to put in that wayfor some hours. Sir George andLady Clonmell would not hear of thefew guests who remained going home."Such weather! no one ever sawanything like it; the river was svvoN

len, the ford impassable. The housewas very large ; the young ladiescould sleep two in a bed (O good-

ness, how my heart sank !); the bach-

elors must rough it for once ; thecushions in the smoking room andthe billiard room were very soft."

A few desperate, and, as I thought,happy people, would go. Mrs. Dun-

dee easily persuaded her husband to

stop. What on earth was I to do 1

My face showed the mess I was in,for one of my friends came, and whis-

pered to me : " Keep your pluck up,old boy ; a few more minutes, andyou will have won Our bet, for youare sure to be separated from oldDundee, and may," he wickedly add-

ed, " be joined to some one better."Oh, how I did inwardly abuse every-

thing and everybody. Thj sleepingarrangements were soon made. Of

course, unless compelled by circum-

stances, I was not going to state who

I was. It struck me that Mrs. Dun-

dee, who was a great friend of Lady

Clonmell, rather favored me. Hur-

rah 1 it ended that I was to sleepalone in a little tiny bedroom, close

to that of Captain and Mrs. Dundee.

Hurrah ! thought I ; I will lock my

door, set all the ladies' maids at defi-

ance, and throw myself on

Mrs. Dundee for help and protection,w ith an ample confession and apology,for she must, at any rate, in a few

days, know the truth, and she will

help me out of the mess and out of

the house." Good-nigh- t, Lady Clonmell.""Good night, my dear Miss Fen-

wick ; 1 hope you will fcleep comfort-

ably."My conscience smote me, as the

kindshearted impulsive old Irish lady

kissed my forehead.

I was alone in my bedroom; I

hnrl not lnrked mv door, because I

was waiting until the lady's maid had

tailed and asked if she could do any

thing more for me. Of course a de-

cided peremptory " No, I thank you"

would have been the answer. And

there I sat, with my elbows in a

most unladylike manner, on both iny

knees, my head filled with the most

unmaidenly thoughts. They were

compounded of a serai-pray- er ot

thankfulness to the presiding genius

of luck for having pulled me, as I

thought, quite through my scrape,

and a mixture of doubt as to wheth-

er I had better trust the heathen dei

ty af 'Baccy, and smoke a couple ofcif-rsout- my open ,window, cr

rtno in a wav chew a bit. To

bacco in some shape I felt that I must

have, to soothe my excited nerves.

A knock at the door. " Come in;"

and I added to myself: " It is only

that bete roir of a lady's maid. Iwill dismiss her, and then hey for 'bac-

cy." She did come in, but not the

lady's mard was she. Radiant with

be jolly together; won't we ta'k overour partners and quiz them so nice-

ly?"

The girl spoke in a very lively,natural manner, but did not particu-larly look at me. Had she done so,she must have noticed that I was al-

most choking black in the facegoing into a fit.

" Good heavens, Miss Evonlode, I

can't, I shan't, I won't you mustnot, you ought cot O dear!''

In the horriblo embarrassment of

the moment, I covered my eyes withmy hands. Miss Evonlode seemedstruck dumb with astonishment, andno wonder.

" You said " Imust go," I; can't,I won't have you here."

" Of course," she replied, " I w ill

go if you wish it, and tell my aunt,Lady Clonmell, what you say; but Ihave had such trouble to avoid bein-- r

seen by those horrible men, that I

must wait a bit to see if the coast is

clear. You see the men are verywell in their way, and I enjoy danc-

ing with them, but I should not liketo be caught by them looking thefright I am now."

I groaned audibly, and shiveredwith shame. I could not tell whatwas the right thing for me to do.Another knock at the door no, nota knock, a bump and an entrancewithout permission. Euter MrsDundee.

" I know what's the matter," saidshe; "I have known the secret all thetime. Miss Fenwick, pardon me,for the Cx I have rather unwittinglyled you into. Miss Evonlode, Mi$s

Fenwick is a man and a gentleman," ;

she added with emphasis. As forMiss Evonlode. she seemed inclined

to faiut. "His being here in thisdisguise," continued Mrs. Dundee,

feet silence will prevent awkward- -

ness (to say the least of it) to every-

Miss Evonlode fell in with the plan.which, under the circumstances, was

a wise one. During the few momentsthat followed, but one remark wasmade. .

" Miss Evonlode,1' I said, "I grievethat through my folly, for it deservesno harsher name, you should be in
